Koushik Dutta, the author of ClockworkMod recovery, has released versions of the touch-enabled CWM Touch recovery over the weekend for both the original ASUS Transformer TF101 and the Transformer Prime TF201. The two devices join an already extensive list of phones with Touch recovery support - in fact, they seem to be the first tablets to support it in CWM's history.

To get the touch-enabled ClockworkMod recovery on your device (currently version 5.8.1.8), make sure you're rooted, load up ROM Manager and click Flash ClockworkMod Touch. This ridiculously easy method is going to cost you a well-deserved $1.99 (in-app purchase, Paypal, or special code redemption). If you don't like that, you can figure out how to install recoveries manually from clockworkmod.com/rommanager - this option is completely free.

Here's a demo of ClockworkMod Touch on a phone, in case you're wondering what to expect:

there are ways to fix your coldboot issues (though as expected, the issue remains in THIS official CWM recovery version too. While in your ROM, open either Terminal Emulator or plug in your TF and open an ADB shell, make sure its got SU permissions, then enter the following commands, making sure to press enter after every line:
